Dear Governor Cuomo & Mayor de Blasio:
May be suggest a solution waiting in plain site?
AVAC Is Working. The Model Is What’s Aging.
What fifty years of use reveal about infrastructure, upkeep, and the decisions that keep systems alive. The system is not failing.
Roosevelt Island’s AVAC system is often discussed as if it were either a miracle or a menace. In truth, it is neither. It is functioning infrastructure that has reached a point in its lifecycle where how it is maintained matters as much as whether it exists at all.
